  • Title: [Influence of lumbar sympathectomy on the proportion of amputation (author's transl)].
    Author: Waibel P.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1977 Jan; 76(1):131-2. PubMed ID: 848228.
    Abstract:
    One hundred and eighty-three lower limbs with arterial occlusion and stade II chronic ischemia were followed for 5 years. Two groups, comparable as to age, sex number and location of lesions were formed by prospective randomization. Ninety limbs were treated by lumbar sympathectomy and 93 were not operated. After 5 years there is no difference between the 2 groups as to mortality, cardiovascular morbidity, claudication or minor or major amputations.
